GAUGE:

18 sts and 24 rows = 4" [10 cm] BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

When changing colors, twist yarn on WS from underneath to avoid holes.

With MC, cast on 160 sts. Beg on RS with chart, work in St st (k on RS, p on WS) following chart from right to left twice. Cont chart as est to Row 92, then rep Rows 1-92 twice more, then rep Rows 1-46 once. DO NOT bind off.
